Blockchain APPG invites entries for 2019 Showcase

The APPG Blockchain will host a showcase in 2019, to present a variety of Blockchain use-cases and products to an audience including Parliamentarians.

This event will be organised by APPG Blockchain Secretariat, Big Innovation Centre with support from Oracle and Finserv Experts. It will be hosted in Central London. The Showcase will take place mid-March 2019 (TBC).

A total of ten showcases will be selected to be produced into short videos which will be shown at the Blockchain Showcase event, shared to our APPG Blockchain Community as well as through our online and social media channels.

Specify: Who (Your organisation); What (Problem and Solution); How (Application function); When (stage of development/ launch on the market)

Successful submissions will receive full guidance on the next stage of video production, which will be organised by the Big Innovation Centre. These will be filmed in February.

Content

The primary purpose of this initiative is to show the real use of Blockchain technology in the daily business challenges and the benefits of its application.

Selected showcases will be shown in mini-film format produced by us. It will be a demonstration of a live blockchain application. Working prototypes and pilots are acceptable, but not stand-alone Proof of Concepts. Mock-ups or PowerPoint slides should not be included.

Discussing the value of the solution and problems addressed are recommended to be included. However, the APPG won’t facilitate any direct selling or solicitation of interest.

The live Blockchain application showcase will be presented to Parliamentarians, the general public as well as members of the APPG Blockchain community and therefore should not assume any specific technical or industry domain knowledge.
